Tournament Rules

Action Clock:
The Action Clock by Protection Poker will be used after level 16 on Day 2. See WPT Action Clock Rules for more details. Time extension chips will accumulate and not be reset.
Ante Format (Big Blind Ante):
Single ante will be posted by the player in the big blind, in the amount equivalent to the big blind. Ante is posted before the big blind and players are eligible to collect the entire ante, even when out of the big blind. Ante is maintained until the completion of the tournament.
Breaks:
Day 1A/1B/2: players will have a 15-minute break every two levels. Dinner break will be after Level 6 (approximately 5:30pm). Day 3 and Final Table breaks are TBD.
Buy-In & Fees:
$3,500 + $200 + $100 = $3,800.
Late Registration:
Registration closes at the start of Level 9 on Day 1A and 1B. Late entries will be dealt in immediately.
Levels, Per Day:
Day 1A/1B/2: Ten, 60-minute levels. Day 3: until only six players remain (official WPT TV Final Table). 
 Day 4 (TV Final Table in Vegas): 60-minute levels until heads-up, then levels become 30 minutes in duration.
Payouts:
One in eight (1-in-8) entries will be in the money (approximately 12.5%). Winners must show valid ID to collect winnings. Residents of foreign countries will be subject to withholding, per casino policy. $10,400 will be withheld from the prize pool and issued to 1st Place in the form of an entry to the WPT World Championship held in Las Vegas.
Players Per Table:
Tables will be 9 Handed at the start of the event and 8 Handed at the start of Day 3.
Players Card & Players Releases:
In order to play in the event, each player must have a Choctaw Player’s Card and sign the mandatory WPT Player Release Form. Age Requirement: due to the TV Final Table being played in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the minimum gambling age is 21, all participants must be 21 years of age or older to play in the WPT tournament and related satellites.
Registration & Re-Entry Rules:
Unlimited re-entry is allowed until the start of Level 9 on Day 1A and Day 1B, when registration ends. This is not a best-stack forward event. Players may forfeit their stack to re-enter, if registration is still open.
Rules:
Tournament Director Association (TDA) rules will be used, unless House Rules apply. Please, see Choctaw tournament staff for House Rules. Additionally, on the money bubble, play will be round-for-round, instead of hand-for-hand. Participation in WPT tournaments is subject to rules and rulings set forth by the applicable venue(s) and/or WPT (e.g., tournament rules, sponsors). All players at WPT events are solely responsible for retrieving their winnings from the host casino or poker room and the payment of any taxes or fees on such winnings requested by the host casino or poker room. Any question or dispute regarding winnings at a WPT event should be brought up directly with the host casino or poker room, which has sole responsibility therefore. WPT is not responsible for any tournament event details including, without limitation, structures, schedules, formats, general rules or prize pool distributions. Management reserves the right to change tournament dates or suspend or cancel tournaments, in whole or part, without notice for any reason at any time. Participation in WPT tournaments is subject to rules and rulings set forth by the applicable venue(s) and/or WPT (e.g., tournament rules, sponsorships).
Seating Redraws:
A redraw will occur at the end of each day (unless the tournament is already at 24 players or fewer). There will also be redraws at 24, 16, and 9 players (or at Tournament Director’s discretion). Before the redraw at 9 players, the two remaining tables will play 5-handed.
